Atsinger said, "There is no-one in America more qualified to bring value to the Salem Radio Network than Phil Boyce. Anyone familiar with his background and resume will immediately agree. I am confident that under the leadership of Dave and Phil our Network assets will move to new heights building on the solid foundation made by Greg Anderson who built the network over a 23 year period."
Regarding the promotion of Phil Boyce to this role Dave Santrella said, "Phil has proven to be a tremendous and versatile leader. He's been an enormous help to our national ministries and an invaluable consultant to our talk network. Putting Phil over our news and news talk network puts him in his sweet spot and I am thrilled to have him steering this important aspect of our broadcast business."
Mike Reed and Mike Miller are promoted to Senior Vice Presidents as well, with Reed taking on additional responsibilities in the Dallas office's network operations and Miller expanding his role in the Network's Music space.
Santrella commented on the overall restructure, "So many times companies seem to think the smartest people in the business are at other companies. It's inspiring to see that Salem recognizes the talent we already have on board as evidenced through these promotions."
Santrella, Boyce, Reed and Miller will assume these new responsibilities at the start of the New Year.
Longtime SRN VP News and Talk Programming Tom Tradup and Salem Communications National News/Talk and Business Talk PD John Butler will both continue in their current roles, reporting to Boyce, who will also retain oversight of Salem’s New York City stations
